Latest Theatre Uncorked Chats THIS LAND WAS MADE

Tori Sampson's THIS LAND WAS MADE is directed by Whitney White. Vineyard's Developmental Labs allow a playwright and director to explore a work-in-progress on its feet in collaboration with a full creative team, and include staging and design elements. Presentations are Thursday, July 26 - Saturday, July 28 at Vineyard Theatre (108 East 15th Street).

Liberation. Peace. Love. Self-Defense. Oakland in 1967 was a powder keg of social activism ready to boil over into radical action. For patrons of Miss Trish's bar, it's all just talking points - until the full, seductive and explosive force of revolution walks through the door. Tori is a 2017-18 Playwrights' Center Jerome Fellow in Minneapolis and the Kennedy Center's 2016 Paula Vogel Playwright. A recent graduate of the Yale School of Drama, THIS LAND WAS MADE marks her New York debut.
